Led lights would reduce current draw.
The heaviest current draw of the A/C is the fan. Check for the fuse rating on the high speed fan circuit (stock GM had a separate fuse for high fan speed, most Vintage Air systems do to) and then figure about 2/3 of the rating.
I'm no 10DN expert, but I'd guess you'd need a higher rated diode pack and external voltage regulator as well.
